I was jonesing for the 24. I ride a 22 GT Pro. Put my bike on the block and only got 3 inquiries from scammers! Trade in would have😊 been $9000! Didn’t need the upgrade that bad. I’m focused on loving my bike. It’s an incredible machine!
I've had no issues with mine, in fact ive just come back from a European tour with 10 other bikes and my GPS was probably the most consistently reliable of all of them!
I've just come from the ninja 1000sx to the GSXR and it's a proper riders bike. Got mine in the new candy red 2024. Great review mate. It's a lovely bike and a beast on A mode
The Question is : Why are Police Officers Training Citizens on Riding Motorcycles ?!?! Don't we have Advanced Training organisations ? Sounds like a money spinner, they get paid for doing this & get paid to protect the public, when their actual Job is to be out in the public Domain protecting the population from crime ! What makes a police officer a more competent driver than the average person ? So why is this Training not made available to the general public. Something smells bad here & I believe it's all about Money 💰
The answers are: Because they are highly trained professional motorcycles and this is a safety initiative not a training course. Yes many, and people are encouraged to train with them. The police do not get paid extra for doing this. Police attend where operational need allows. They are usually traffic officers(not always) and road safety education is part of their role. Many months of advanced training over numerous courses makes them more competent than the average motorist(again, usually, not always) It's about safety, nobody is making a profit from this.
You are missing the point. The police do not make money on these courses, if anything, they probably make a loss. It is about education and encouraging safer riding, hopefully resulting in a few less statistics on the roads.
It’s not your imagination, I am 5”7” and the 2023 models allowed me to almost flat foot. The 2024 I am tip towing with the seat set at the lower setting.
2023 V7 Stone owner here. I liked your review. The gearbox gets better with time and use. Mine has got 17,000 miles on it already and it's only getting better.
Good review comparison except I wish they both had the waterproof inner main compartment like the R22. It would be great if Kriega merged the two best features of R22 and R25. I, agree with you that closing feature of R25 is far more user friendly for riders plus mentioning those optional extra little bags is a good mention too, as I have now decided to go for the R25 instead.
Fair comment. I still use my R25 most times I'm out riding so for me it was definitely the right choice! Even if they added one small waterproof inner compartment to it, that would be a huge improvement over the current model.
How is the heat coming off of the engine, for example in city traffic? I know that Triumph has slightly modified the fairing vents to help to mitigate this… does it help?
I didn't notice any to be honest, but it was a cold and wet day so hard to judge! I don't find my '21 gtpro to be too bad in that respect to be honest, I've ridden other bikes which are far worse!
I'll always be jealous that you can do test rides in the UK. When I was debating between the Transalp and the V-strom 800DE I had to rely on online reviews, and just the feel of sitting on each of them. Not the best way to do it, but I'm also not disappointed with the 800DE at all.
With weird unnecessary electrical "innovations" , we have all kinds of irritating side effects. Wtf is wrong with a nice simple key? Turn it on and ride away. Same for the bloody fuel cap.And dont get me started on the idiotic clutch in to start the thing. We have overdone the technical cleverness. That so-called clever crap will fuck up at some stage and make a fine handling grunty bit of gear unfixable and obsolete. How fuckin annoying.
32 minutes onwards you were trying to impress her. On and off the throttle like a switch. Accelerating hard during corner exit. Accelerating hard upto speed limits. Slight bit of gravel, oil or horse shit will catch you out, even with traction control. Stay safe
I can promise you I wasn't trying to impress anyone, I was riding my own ride as instructed! In fact, she noted afterwards how she herself likes to get a wiggle on in a similar fashion to myself! Not saying a slide couldn't happen, of course it can, but reading the road, looking where you put your front wheel, and knowing your bike and it's tyres capabilities is key!
@@ukveganbikers its true but to change the suspension is an insane amount of money. And the competitors give these features for cheaper and they're stock instead of third party. The triumph's only advantage is that it's 3 cylinders instead of 2.
Very nice ride and review, You really have your audio and video dialed in. Too bad dealer quoted me 7k US out the door. Do you have a front wheel size preference over the Scrambler's 19? Thanks :)
Thank you! I've struggled with audio in the past but I think I've now got it just right! 👍🏻 I preferred the smaller wheel of the Speed, but he ability to do a little green lining on the Scrambler would be a bonus.
I've wisened up now and have it connected to a power bank! This is an interesting video for me, I didn't think it would interest many people, especially with all the dialogue as you mention, but it's been one of my most popular videos so what do I know! 👍🏻
Great bike can’t ride mine enough. Ignore the spec sheet there is plenty of power for today’s roads. It apparently takes 6 months for the gearbox to bed in. On mine the clutch is fine. It is an old school retro bike with the 21 litre tank. I get 195 miles before the fuel light comes on then there is a count up read out. The reserve is 4 litre so go for 40 miles . It’s not a sports bike and handles well. So much character and great for A & B roads and is good 2 up
Always fill up a demo bike to the brim out of courtesy, but this was a demo day organised by Wheels Motorcycles and they were refilling the bikes up themselves. 👍🏻
My brake pedal position is fine, but the brake light isn't lighting up unless I press the pedal fully all the way down. So when I'm braking gently at low speeds, my brake light isn't coming on ....any ideas? Brake light all fine with front brake.
I am not sure if the brake switch is adjustable on these bikes. I know on my 800 there was an adjustable nut. I do remember having an issue with my switch after washing the bike where the brake light didn't work, but a little tap on the switch did the trick. Other than that, I'm not sure, sorry!
Honestly currently riding a 07 bandit 1250s. Does the throttle feel that much like an on/off switch to you? I always felt like it wasn’t too bad but it is also the only bike I’ve ever owned.
@@ukveganbikers I just talked to my father about it because he had a chance to ride it. He said the bike felt extremely weird with the fueling so I guess I was just used to it.
